” MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT – John S. Hurt (1893-1966) was a pioneer blues and folk guitarist. Self-taught, Hurt rarely left his home at Avalon, where he worker as a farmer. Although he recorded several songs in 1928, including ‘Avalon Blues‘ and ‘Frankie,’ he lived in relative obscurity before he was ‘rediscovered’ in the blues revival of the 1960s.”
